Synopsis

Reflections On The Character And Objects Of All Science And Literature, And On The Relative Excellence And Value Of Religious And Secular Education, And Of Sacred And Classical Literature: In Two Addresses And An Oration With Additions And Improvements by Thomas Smith Grimké. This volume comprises a trio of discourses delivered in the early American context, examining the relationship between science, literature, and education, with a strong emphasis on religious instruction. Grimké argues for Bible-based Sacred Literature as the foundational basis of national education, contending that Protestant modern nations achieved greater public welfare when Bible-centered education prevailed. He critiques the overreliance on classical Greek and Roman authors for national improvement and advocates universal education, religious liberty, and a distinctly American system in which religious and moral instruction permeates schooling from the primary level to the university. The work includes Preface, Contents, Notes, and appendices (a Letter to a Committee on Bible study, a dedication address, and related notes), along with discussions of Sunday Schools, tract societies, and a Depository for Bibles. The author was from Charleston, South Carolina.
